Six-sided die

A gaming apparatus performs a gaming method with a symbol display system for a wagering game, a processor controlling the symbol display system and software executed by the processor, has software perform electronic functions of:

Binomial and multinomial-based slot machine

A method and apparatus for providing information to a plurality of users based on the relevancy of the information to the users are disclosed. An incoming message is received. Similarity scores are generated indicating similarities of the incoming message to features of a plurality of messages. Relevancy scores are generated for the plurality of users, the relevancy scores indicating relevancies of the incoming message to the plurality of users based on the similarity scores and a plurality of user profiles including information descriptive of the plurality of users' preferences for the features of the plurality of users. Message information derived from the incoming message, the relevancy scores, and the plurality of user profiles is delivered to at least some of the plurality of users.

Method and apparatus for distributing information to users

Method and apparatus for regulating a flow of information to one or more users is disclosed. A system includes a relevancy threshold for a user and an incoming message having a relevancy score, the relevancy score indicating a relevancy of the incoming message to the user. A method for regulating a flow of information to a user of the system is disclosed. The method determines whether the relevancy score of the incoming message satisfies the relevancy threshold, and delivers to the user message information derived from the incoming message and adjusting the relevancy threshold when the relevancy score of the incoming message satisfies the relevancy threshold. The method adjusts the relevancy threshold by an amount determined by a time-dependent function when the relevancy score of the incoming message does not satisfy the relevancy threshold.

System for regulating flow of information to user by using time dependent function to adjust relevancy threshold

A method and system for evaluating the relevancy of an incoming message to a plurality of users are disclosed. Similarity scores indicating similarities of the incoming message to features of a plurality of messages are generated. Relevancy scores are generated for the plurality of users indicating relevancies of the incoming message to the plurality of users based on the similarity scores and a plurality of user profiles including information descriptive of the plurality of users' preferences for the features.

Method and apparatus for evaluating relevancy of messages to users

A method and system are provided for use by an enterprise in which personal messages are processed differently than messages that are intended to constitute official enterprise correspondence (&ldquo;enterprise messages&rdquo;). An electronic communication including a message, a recipient identifier identifying at least one recipient of the message, and an status indicator indicating whether the message is a personal message or an enterprise message is received. The message is made available to the at least one recipient if the status indicator indicates that the message is a personal message. If the status indicator indicates that the message is an enterprise message, the message is stored in a searchable database and may also be made available to the at least one recipient.

Dual-use email system

A network-based mail attachment storage system and method for: receiving from a sender an electronic mail item which contains a forwarding specification and an attachment; detaching the attachment from the electronic mail item; storing the attachment on a storage device at a specific address under a specific file name; generating a handle corresponding to the specific address and the specific file name; appending the electronic mail item to include the handle; and transmitting in accordance with the forwarding specification the appended electronic mail item, including the handle but excluding the stored attachment.

Network-based mail attachment storage system and method

A computer apparatus and method for generating structures and analyzing the stability of a structure formed from multiple predefined components represents the structure as a series of bodies fixed in place by stationary joints. The joints have known properties and each joint is assigned a torque capacity corresponding to the known properties. A computer routine calculates torque exerted on each joint and compares the calculated torque with the torque capacities to determine stability of the structure. The computer routine enables remodeling of an unstable structure.

Computer apparatus and method for analyzing structural stability

A data input device and method for producing signals corresponding to symbols, comprises: at least one manually actuatable switch having a home state and manually actuatable from the home state to one of a set of first states and manually actuatable from the set of first states to one of a set of second states including the home state. A first signal corresponding to a transition from the home state to a selected one of the set of first states is produced and a second signal corresponding to a transition from the selected one of the set of first states to a selected one of the set of second states is produced. An output signal representing one symbol is produced in response to the first and second signals.
